Generic Name: Ceftin for Urinary Tract Infection (cefuroxime)
Ceftin for Urinary Tract Infection Reviews
"When I read all of the reviews, I was kind of terrified to start Ceftin, but I had no reason to be! The only side effect I found for the first day was gas and bloating, but it definitely could've been unrelated. As long as you take this antibiotic with a meal (nothing crazy, doesn't have to be huge) and take probiotics daily, you should be totally fine! I've been on it for 4 days, and I feel great with no side effects. Tomorrow is my last day, so I'm hoping my UTI will be cleared out! My only complaint is that because I took the liquid, it definitely was not pleasant to swallow, and I found the easiest way to make it tolerable was to mix it with a sweeter flavored drink, as the antibiotic is a bit gritty and bitter."
"Have chronic Lyme disease - causing depressed immune function. Ceftin eliminated my urinary tract infection in one week without any side reactions. Felt better after first dose. Love this medication!"
"Diarrhea and nausea was present within 12 hours of taking the first pill. I was told but the pharmacist that this was a possibility, but I was so sick I discontinued meds immediately!"
